ARMS FIRM
DIRECTOR
Both defendants were discharged following the hearing at the Old Bailey of charges of conspiracy against Montague Wentworth, 47, described as an inventor, and Alexander Herbert Tucker, 40, described as a merchant, of conspiracy to defraud and attempting to obtain £1,000 by false pre- tences from Cmdr. Charles Rodney St. John' Rich, R.N. (retired).
Mr. McClure, for the prosecution,' said that Wentworth introduced Tucker to Cmdr. Rich at af West End hotel as an Australian-Chinese, whose i father was allowing him £60,000 a year,
Tucker said that he was in a position to put up £76,000 for the commander's publishing busi ness, and suggested that it would be a good thing for Cmdr. Rich to have an interest in Tucker's. ventures,
There were various meetings, and Tucker said that he had contracts for the supply of obsolete arms to China including 65,000 Hotchkiss guns. He also remarked: "Wentworth and I have i been negotiating to supply arms to Abyssinia. I have a contract with the Soley Armament Com- pany."
Mr. CcClure said that these statements were quite untrue.
"Straight To Scotland Yard" Mr. Marston Garsia (for Tucker) asked Cmdr. Rich: You wero willing to go into these armamenta contrnets at the start? "No," answered the witness. "I went to Scotland Yard straight away."
Capt. John Ball, a director of the Soley Armament Co., said that he interviewed Tucker last antunin in connection with arms for China, but nothing came of it. Tucker never had a contract with Arm.

Capt. Ball also described negotiations for supplying arms to the Spanish Government, in which Tucker was concerned, but said that no order resulted.
At the conclusion of the ease for the prosecution Mr. de Verteuil submitted that there was no case against Wentworth, and the jury, after a short consultation, found him not guilty.

In other words, if Achilles ran 100 yards, and then 10 yards, and then 1 yard, and then 1-10 yard, and so on, he naturally would always be some distance, no matter: how amall, behind the turtle.
